Discussion about trope definitions belongs on Trope Talk, so please take this there.
You can't just say "perchance".

Should the Embarrassing Name tropes cover an intance where the name itself is not embarrassing, but the background for it is?
Like if a character is named John and there is nothing wrong about it, but then we find out his mother gave him that name becuase she gave birth in a bathroom, so she decided to name him John.
